Ange Postecoglou has interpreted an immediate change in philosophy in Nottingham Forest, and insists that it will be more than a revolution in the city.
Postecoglou was appointed on Tuesday the successor of the sackage nuno spirito holy And he takes care of the forest for the first time on Saturday when they visit the Arsenal.
It will be a quick return to northern London for the Australian who was fired by Tottenham in June, 16 days after driving them in the Europa League title.
No quick transition to “angeball”
Postecoglou is known for an attacking style everything, characterized by a high press and a high defensive line, in contrast to the most pragmatic Nuno.
In the face of this, Forest does not own players to implement postcoglou tactics immediately, and the old head of Celtic agrees that it will take time to make their ideas.
He said, “It’s a family territory for me. The same when I took over Spurs … but three games. It will be a gradual process. Nuno went to something different. But we are all different. It’s a matter of doing it as milder as possible.”
Postecoglou said that the opportunity to manage Forest was too good to reject, adding: “I am excited. I’m not sure when the next opportunity would happen. It happened and I am excited. It’s fantastic to return to the Premier League and in charge of a club with a historical story that I think is being done.
“It was developed over the weekend, but it was put on Monday. My staff was in different parts of the world. We had to make some quick decisions. They took me in a good time, just made my school race. From my perspective, once we went into discussions over the weekend, they didn’t take me too much to realize -it was a great opportunity.
“It was presented because of the work I have done. This is open to me. I feel quite humble and blessed to receive another opportunity to manage in the world’s largest league.
“For anyone coming from Australia, we realize how far we are from this world. People think I just started training two years ago on Spurs. We love being the little one and we love that I was written. I beat my dreams 20 years ago.”
Postecoglou aims at trophies
Postecoglou made a wand for his own return to Spurs, stating that “he always wins trophies in his second year”, although he finally proved just after Spurs came Manchester United in Bilbao.
He did not repeat the claim in his forestry presentation, but he admitted to the silver.
“I have said that I want to win trophies and this is what I have done all my career and this is what I will do here,” he said. “All clubs want to succeed, but what I have seen in recent years, these ambitions are supported by actions.”
His dismissal in Tottenham was a surprise, he claims that Postecoglou, despite an unfortunate season of the Premier League in 2025/25, who saw that the club ended only one place outside the relegation places.
“It was unusual because it never happened to me before,” he said. “This is the first time I was plundered. This is the first time I have a season out of season. You wonder about the next opportunity. What I knew was that I wanted to go to a club that gave me the platform to continue what I have been doing in my career.
“You certainly don’t know when these things are over. He certainly didn’t think he ended after winning a trophy.”
Postecoglou inherits a strong forestry team
Forest finished seventh last season and postcoglou will have the opportunity to work with a strong squad that includes New England Elliot Anderson, Douglas Luiz and striker Chris Wood.
He said, “I really like the template. Think he has a great balance and capable of covering most of the positions for the rotations he needs. He has different demands in the Premier League and the competitions of cups too. It is a template that I think is willing to compete and it is also robust enough.”
It is not an easy start for postcoglou, as it closes the horns again with the ex -Sparring of Northern London’s Sparring, Mikel Arteta.
“It’s what it is. The first four games are out, so I’ve had a good look at the stadium today,” he jokes. “All Premier League teams are a challenge. It is a great game. Mikel has begun to begin. They have been strengthened during the summer.”
